belaying

This is a debrief from this week’s climbing lessons. I’m taking a course on belaying when lead climbing and a course in climbing technique. This week I took the fourth (and final) lesson in belaying (lead) and the third one in climbing technique. Course: Belaying - Lead Climbing Lesson 4 Goal: Learn to fall and catch falls as a belayer safely and comfortably. Observations: This lesson is well suited for all the adrenaline junkies out there.

This week I took the third lesson in belaying (lead) and the second one in climbing technique. Course: Belaying - Lead Climbing Lesson 3 Goal: Learn to give out slack quickly with a Grigri by squeezing the brake. Rehearse everything we learned so far. Observations: Giving out slack quickly is especially important when clipping the lowest quickdraws.

This is a debrief from this week’s climbing lessons. I’m taking a course on belaying when lead climbing and a course in climbing technique. This week I took the second lesson in belaying (lead) and the first one in climbing technique. Course: Belaying - Lead Climbing Lesson 2 Goal: Start belaying with a Grigri. This time without second belayer with top-rope technique. For now without squeezing the Grigri brake. Observations: When the climber is low on the wall, it is possible to fall on the ground before the rope starts providing significant braking action.
